Lytt til bed hoppers - swinging in the UK

Did you know that data is sexy? Join our episode today and find out about a recent survey we put out about swinging and people's experiences. We make some surprising discoveries about when people started, who brought it up and what people would throw in the swinging lifestyle bin. From age ranges to play-style preferences, we excel at exploring a whole range of data (ha! spreadsheet puns - I wonder what the formula for those is?). Thanks for hopping into our bed!

This episode features Rich and Jo, who playfully describe each other before discussing their entry into the swinging lifestyle via online platforms and initial club experiences. A key theme is communication, which they highlight as crucial for navigating their relationship and has positively impacted their "vanilla" life. They also delve into their adult ADHD diagnoses, finding relief in understanding their behaviours, and discuss the potential link between neurodiversity and the lifestyle, including the concept of "risky sexual behaviour". Navigating jealousy and boundaries is explored through personal anecdotes, emphasising that jealousy is normal but manageable within agreed limits. Offering advice to newcomers, they stress having an open mind and recognising the ordinary nature of people in the lifestyle. They playfully critique rigid definitions of labels and the stigma associated with their lifestyle. And their ideal date reflects their relaxed and engaging dynamic.
